Letter of 4 December 1954

4 December 1954

To the New Territories Committee

Dear Bahá’í Sister:
In your letter of November 16,1954, giving the record of the settlement of various virgin areas, it is noted that Miss Mary Zabolotny,1 of Verdun, Quebec, is making arrangements to go to Anticosti Island as the guest of a family living there.
The beloved Guardian is anxious to know if this represents permanent settlement of the Anticosti Islands by Miss Zabolotny, or if this arrangement simply contemplates a short stay in the Islands.
If it consists of permanent settlement, the Guardian would appreciate definite advice to that effect.

With loving Bahá’í greetings, I am,

Faithfully yours,

Leroy Ioas
1.Mary Zabolotny (McCulloch)—Knight of Bahá’u’lláh for Anticosti Island (1956), passed away 1996.  [ Back To Reference]
